The speed of information transmission is faster than the speed of flying. Before Qin Jun and the others returned, Pingtian had already received the news. While countless people were praising the might of the Qin Emperor, the defenders of Shousha City were not happy.
Qin Jun noticed that something was wrong with them and couldn't help but frown, asking, "What happened?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak up.
At this moment, Daji stepped forward and gritted her teeth, "Xiao Li was taken away by her father, the king."
"What?"
Qin Jun widened his eyes and angrily asked, "So many of you couldn't stop him?"
He scanned Huang Feng Dawa, Yuan Hong, Xianglong Luohan, Lei Zhenzi, Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, Hong Haier, Li Yuanba, and all the others in a circle, but no one dared to meet his gaze.
Yi Lao coughed and said, "Qin kid, you can't blame them. That Dragon King is very strong, probably at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."
The peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
Qin Jun was so angry that his eyes almost turned black. He glared at Li Bai and asked, "Didn't your master say that the South Sea Dragon King is just a bit stronger than him?"
"How is that possible? My master has never encountered the South Sea Dragon King," Li Bai shook his head.
Indeed, even the title of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal he earned in the Southern Region was blown out by Tai Bai Xingjun.
They both came to seek refuge with Qin Jun in this world. How could Tai Bai Xingjun have encountered the South Sea Dragon King?
He must have been boasting...
Qin Jun regretfully slapped his head. Although he had estimated that the South Sea Dragon King was very strong, he hadn't expected him to be this strong.
He couldn't help but ask Daji, "Were there any casualties in Shousha City?"
"No, the South Sea Dragon King only took away Xiao Li," Daji shook her head.
Huang Feng Dawa said awkwardly, "The Dragon King's teleportation technique is very strong, faster than my activation of the Samadhi Divine Wind, and his physical body is extremely strong, surpassing even the Bull Demon King."
Qin Jun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you saying that the South Sea Dragon King had investigated you in advance?"
Seeing Huang Feng Dawa evading the topic, it was obvious that he knew the power of the Samadhi Divine Wind.
"It's likely," Liu Bowen added.
He continued, "Your Majesty, you can't act impulsively. Li Fei is, after all, the daughter of the South Sea Dragon King. He won't harm her. The most urgent matter is to deal with the Holy Dynasty and the various forces in the Southern Region."
Qin Jun took a deep breath, understanding that he couldn't act recklessly at this time.
He didn't have a powerhouse at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm under his command. Even if he brought Huang Feng Dawa, Nezha, and Chang'e to attack the Dragon Clan, it would probably be a one-way trip, because he didn't have a deep understanding of the Dragon Clan.
Forget it!
Endure for a while!
Qin Jun forced himself to suppress his annoyance and said, "Let's hold a welcome banquet for Fairy Chang'e tonight!"
"No need, just find me a room to rest. You guys can go about your business."
Chang'e said calmly, and as she spoke, she walked towards the shaded path without treating herself as an outsider.
Everyone looked at each other. It seemed that this goddess was not to be trifled with, as she even dared to contradict Qin Jun's proposal.
Most importantly, Chang'e exuded a strong sense of oppression. Except for Yi Lao, Huang Feng Dawa, Nezha, Yuan Hong, and Xianglong Luohan, no one dared to look directly at Chang'e.
The aura of the goddess was just too strong!
"Goddess?"
Daji stared at Chang'e's figure thoughtfully, then turned to look at Qin Jun with meaningful eyes.
Although she felt a little jealous, she understood that the more outstanding women around Qin Jun, the stronger he would be.
...
Early the next morning, just as the day was breaking, Qin Jun got up to practice swordsmanship.
The incident of Xiao Li being taken away had stimulated him.
He had failed to protect Xiao Zhulong, and now Xiao Li had been taken away as well.
His power seemed strong, but in the process of rising, he had lost many things.
Swish, swish, swish—
The Seven Star Sword trembled like lightning, creating bursts of sword flowers that dazzled the eyes.
Qin Jun would spend half an hour practicing swordsmanship every day, and the rest of the time he would cultivate his qi. After all, cultivation was fundamental. No matter how strong his swordsmanship was, if his cultivation fell behind, even a sword god would be defeated.
"Your Majesty..."
At that moment, a sinister voice rang out, and at the same time, Qin Jun felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck, startling him as he quickly turned to look.
He saw two burly figures, with a bull's head and a horse's face, who had appeared behind him at some point. Their appearance was quite terrifying, and even in broad daylight, Qin Jun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Damn!
Do you want to scare me to death?
Qin Jun cursed in his heart, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you guys appear in a less terrifying way in the future?"
The bull's head and horse's face looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes. They thought they had already appeared quite peacefully.
If it were in the past, they could have appeared in an even more terrifying manner.
"I am very happy that you have chosen to serve me."
Qin Jun said with a smile. Black and White Impermanence, along with the bull's head and horse's face, would be his sharp sword to infiltrate the underworld.
Black and White Impermanence quickly knelt down. Now that Qin Jun's power was great, when they first met Black and White Impermanence, they didn't show such respect. The difference lay in Qin Jun's own strength and status.
"We will do anything for Your Majesty!"
Black and White Impermanence said solemnly, their oath exuding great momentum.
Qin Jun helped them up and then sat them down at the stone table in the courtyard.
"Do you know about Black and White Impermanence?" Qin Jun asked with a smile.
The underworld and the mortal world were equally vast, and they were divided into different domains. This was what Qin Jun had learned from Black and White Impermanence. It was said that the underworld and the mortal world were like the front and back of a coin, and each domain's underworld had its own ruler.
In a domain's underworld, the ruler held the greatest power, just like an emperor.
From a long time ago, Qin Jun had asked Black and White Impermanence to find a way to win over the souls and build his own power.
The management in the underworld is strict, and the Black and White Impermanence dare not make any big moves.
"Black and White Impermanence? They are quite famous ghost officials in the underworld," Ma Mian pondered, and Niu Tou nodded in agreement.
It seems that Black and White Impermanence are indeed doing quite well.
Afterward, Emperor Qin began to assign tasks to Niu Tou and Ma Mian.
"With the presence of the Underworld Emperor, I'm afraid..." Niu Tou hesitated.
Although they both have the cultivation of celestial immortals, they are not top-notch experts in the underworld.
"Don't worry, for now, your main task is to cultivate elites. In the future, I will send strong individuals to help you," Emperor Qin smiled.
So what if there's an Underworld Emperor?
When I summon the eighteen Yama Kings and judges, along with Zhong Kui, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and others, I will establish the underworld and rule the underworld.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Qin's mouth.
Niu Tou and Ma Mian exchanged a glance, and Ma Mian cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, do you also have... in the underworld?"
They have heard quite a few legends about Emperor Qin in the underworld. Recently, the ghosts in the Southern Domain have also been discussing the influential figures in the mortal realm. Niu Tou and Ma Mian have also heard about Emperor Qin's mysterious ability to gather strong individuals.
"It wouldn't be interesting if I revealed everything," Emperor Qin said mysteriously.
Intentionally being mysterious, making it hard for people to guess!
If I keep summoning without being able to call upon strong individuals from the underworld, that would be embarrassing...
But one must not be timid, and boasting cannot be taken lightly! [End of this chapter]
